Chapter 115: The Blood Sacrifice of Olden Alliance, The Forgotten Spirit Part 2

What confused her most was not 86's true strength.

But rather

'Mr. Renji is not with Mario'

'So... it wasn't me who harmed everyone? Mr. Renji didn't betray us?'

'So...'

'Could it be that Mr. Renji's appearance here was to...'

[Garbage cleaning completed, Miss Ashe. According to the evaluation, you are currently in a situation of unavoidable personal danger. In accordance with Clause 7 of the labor contract signed between you and Master, the company is obliged to provide necessary humanitarian assistance. That's why we came here] said 86, piercing through the villainous disguise of the arrogant master.

86, who had returned to her maid form, approached Ashe, who was still kneeling on the ground.

After squatting down, 86, though expressionless as a robot, extended a warm hand towards Ashe.

[Miss Ashe, please pay attention to your safety and maintain mental and physical health. You have missed class tonight, and I don't want you to continue missing class tomorrow, otherwise our teaching progress will face severe challenges] said 86, imitating her master's tsundere way of expressing care for Miss Ashe.

Tears filled Ashe's eyes again, and she couldn't help but throw herself into the maid's arms.

"86, Master Renji, Sob*... I knew Ashe wasn't wrong... Ashe..."

Eileen, following Renji, pouted at this scene.

'What about me?'

'What about me?!'

No way!''

'I can't let that broken machine steal all the limelight!'

With these thoughts, Eileen shifted her focus from the panicked Leng, the struggling Mario and his guardian relics crawling out of the ruins, to searching for another figure in the vicinity.

After all, Eileen, who had gathered intelligence with Renji, knew that there should be another mastermind at the scene.

But the question is

'Where is that person?'

'Where is that jackal-demi human?'

Indeed.

Not just Eileen, even Leng and Mario were now looking for the jackal-human Roca. Renji's arrival had disrupted the situation, and 86's display of power made them desperately seek external assistance.

The jackal-demi-human, Roca, who had "promised" both sides, naturally became their hope.

Unfortunately...

"Stop looking. Haven't you realized yet? Both of you have been played by Roca. He's probably already..."

Before Renji could finish his sentence, a loud explosion was heard from afar, followed by a burst of flames shooting into the sky.

An explosion in the city? 

No, that was just the beginning.

Following that

Explosions similar to the first one occurred all over the city, with flames rising in various districts. The sudden Apocalypse plunged the city's inhabitants into chaos.

"What's happening!"

"Who is causing such large-scale destruction in the city!?"

And judging by the scale and momentum, it wasn't something prepared in just a couple of days. It was a long-planned act, with explosives set up everywhere in advance!

Then...

"Clap clap clap!"

Applause rang out, and the absentee person finally showed up.

"Unexpected, Mr. Renji. You truly made me surprise."

Roca emerged from the shadows. This leader of the second faction of the demi human revolutionary army, ostensibly a dogfighting force raised by Mayor Mario, now appeared with the demeanor of a mastermind in the shadow, smiling as he stepped forward.

"Roca, you!"

"Yo, isn't this our dear Mayor? How disheveled you look, tsk tsk. Honestly, I gave Leng the precious 'Olden Alliance' power just to hold you off, but I didn't expect...Sigh…never mind."

Even Leng's face darkened.

From Roca's tone, it was clear, without a doubt, he too had been betrayed.

Roca told Mayor Mario he would help his army to encircle the revolutionary army, and then assured Leng of the revolutionary army that he was deceiving Mario. In reality, he planned to join forces with the revolutionary army to encircle Mario's army.

But now it seems...

Roca's real purpose was just to gather the two strongest forces in the city together, so that they could restrain each other. This strategy allowed Roca to successfully set the city ablaze, plunging it into chaos under a series of explosions.

As for his goal...

"Leng, do you remember what I told you about how the ancients taught us to purify and awaken our true bloodline? Yes, it's through a blood sacrifice. But ordinary sacrifices are too primitive and no longer satisfy my needs, so..."

With a fanatic look in his eyes, Roca pulled out a blood-colored skull from his bosom.

This was a Tainted Miasma artifact.

An artifact as powerful as the 'Relics'.

But Renji narrowed his eyes, knowing this wasn't a relic, meaning it wasn't something from his time but a powerful Tainted Miasma artifact newly created in later times!

The only ones capable of this, apart from 'them', were likely...

'The Olden Alliance…'

"Hahahaha! Yes, tonight is the night of my ascension. All the people of the city will become the sacrificial offerings for my blood ritual!"

When a person is doing something "great", they need witnesses, driven by a desire to share. Because if it's not known or witnessed by others...

'Is it still great?'

"You don't know how pitiful you look to me right now, just like I once was, struggling meaninglessly like ants in this world. But now, I've seen a broader, higher-level world. I don't want to go back. I must truly join the 'Olden Alliance'. I must become one of 'The Forgotten'!"

"As a key to knock on the door... only those who can summon the 'Forgotten Spirits' from 500 years ago, from the era of the great emperors, are worthy to be called The Forgotten and be truly recognized by the 'Olden Alliance'. So..."

"Come to me! I can feel it. Using the entire city as a summoning offering, I will surely be able to summon the highest grade of 'Forgotten Spirits'!"

"Ahhhhhhhh~ I can feel it... It's responding to me, it's about to descend! It's connected to me! This ancient, wonderful... powerful, full of mystery, antiquity, and strength..."

"This power from 500 years ago, from the old era..."

"The Forgotten Spirit!"
